so funny story my dumbass found out about env_fog_controller

This is the type of map i like.

ah ok. got it.

and i have also already tried alternate water textures, no fix occurs in doing that.

it is not a leak. i have checked several times for leaks. i have searched the entire compile log for leaks. i have made sure every brush is not letting any of the inside get into the outside, which would mean no leaks. i have gone through every measure to make sure there are no leaks.

there are no leaks.

i have tried doing exactly what you said already, do people pay attention holy fuck

another issue may be the water texture you're using. you might want to use gm_construct/water to be on the safe side. maybe that might work?

i think the reason the water is invisible is because there may be a leak present in your map. you may want to use the 'Load Pointfile' option to find where the leak is

hopefully I helped. Really cool map tho. loving it

beat me to it lol
